Overview

Our Jewish tours offer an immersive experience into the rich history and culture of Jerusalem. Explore the winding streets of the Old City, wander through the Jewish Quarter, and visit some of the most important religious sites in the world. Our knowledgeable guides will bring the stories of the past to life, helping you understand the significance of each location and its role in Jewish history.

We’ll visit the Hurva and Karaite Synagogues, both of which are steeped in history and are architecturally stunning. The Cardo, an ancient Roman street, is another stop on the tour and will transport you back in time to the height of the Roman Empire. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the Western Wall and Robinson’s Arch, which are among the holiest sites in Judaism. Additionally, we’ll take you to the City of David, where you’ll learn about the history of ancient Jerusalem and the role it played in the formation of the Jewish state.

Our tours also offer the unique opportunity to meet a Sofer (Scribe) and learn about the art of writing Torah scrolls. Did you know that a single Torah scroll can take up to a year to complete and contains over 300,000 letters? You’ll get to see firsthand the meticulous attention to detail that goes into creating these works of art. Finally, we’ll take you to some of the Jewish places in the Muslim Quarter, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry that makes up this ancient city.

"I'd highly recommend Emmanuel to anyone who wants a customized tour of the Old City. Everything was new to me, but he also managed to find things that my cousin, the repeat visitor, had never known before."


Jason
"Our family of five (two adults, three kids 18,12 and 7) did a two day walking tour of the Old City and surrounding area with Emmanuel. The whole experience was outstanding."



Sarah
"Emmanuel was knowledgeable, entertaining and kept the interest of such a diverse group. Jerusalem is a city with so much history and so many secrets and the right guide can be the difference between boredom and enlightenment."
